Brian Williams and others playing the perpetually useless "What's wrong with Dems"

game. They don't seem to get that this is not a time for soul-searching, but a time for fighting, rooting out corruption, and protecting our democracy from some very strong forces trying to destroy it.

Sometimes we need to listen to the good ones. And she’s a good one.

Carville predicted a rout, as did many here. Oops.

Give me someone who’s clear-eyed and clear thinking any day.

I have followed her a long time from across the river in Illinois. I do not like the “Democrats just think they are smarter than everyone else” BS that she spouting on that particular show.

The correct answer should be, "You realize Brian we got more than 3 million more votes than the Republicans did".

And then just stare at him.

That will wake those fuckers up. And maybe if they lay off the Q and the KKK, they can start earning the respect that seems to enrage them so. Until then, they can go suck a fuck.

That’s what FOX does for their perspective.
Analysis and constructive criticism is the mandate for the real media.
